Extended Essay 

A sick lengthy essay developed by someone who thought that making high school children write a 4000 word college level essay would be funny. The inventor of such an essay is compared to those such as Joseph Stalin, for the reason for creation was for the "justice and equality for all those students suffering through the International Baccalaureate".

The Extended Essay was said to have been the cause of the large drop out rate in the International Baccalaureate program, as students described the process of writing this essay on ANY TOPIC POSSIBLE as hell, death, insaity, suicidal, painful and suffering.

However, the Extended Essay is also looked upon to expand the learning of the students in seek of a challenge. The students that view the Extended Essay as a challege are a very small minority of the students enrolled in IB. To the large consensous of the IB population, the Extended Essay has no bearing on ones future, but demonstrates a large amount of stress compared to a sentencing on death row.
Tommy: Man I can't believe I signed up for International Baccalaureate, they put us through hell with this Extended Essay requirement
Patric: I know, I haven't slept in 13 days because of this assignment. The only thing keeping me going is the 5 redbulls I drnk every time I wink
Tommy: You got to do whatever you can to get into those Ivey League Schools
Patric: Hopefully the Extended Essay will allow me to achieve my three bonus points, and allowing me to score a 45 in my IB mark. That way I can go to Yale and find an interesting women, and hopefully marry rich!
Tommy: That's why we're in it brother...

TOK essay 

An essay for the philosophy course that is a prerequisite for the IB program. Dealing with topics that have no answer, the student must complete this impossible task if they want to receive the all hailed by students and ignored by college prise of the IB diploma.
Below is the basic structure of a TOK essay:

"This is my opinion. This is why it's believable. OH WAIT this is why it could be wrong, so there are two opinions now. K, so now that that's done- OH WAIT here's another opinion for no real reason other then word count! Now I'm going to question the question, to seem smart. WHAT IS TRUTH? And add a quote in here, Friend says "What is not true???" And now I have to conclude that I'm wishywashy in my arguments, and in and ending statement: FUCK.T.O.K."

Extended Essay 

4000 words of pure pain, insomnia, coffee and supreme procrastination. EE for enemies. Works effectively as catalyst to extinguish its victims' sleep time. Will cause its victims to curse their own existence, doubt their eventual intelligence (most of the times just leftovers of it, due to World Lit, ToK and other kinds of cerebral massacre) and devote to coffee-ism. Finding a way of distorting a very simple idea into a million-word sentence, in a desperate attempt to cover as many words as possible.

Time 2: I have to go, there is a guy trying to work on his Extended Essay. Gotta go FAAAAST!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
